Question

If a body starts from rest and accelerates to a speed of 5 m/s in 1 second, then the distance travelled by it is

5m
2m
2.5m
3m​

Answer 1

• $\large{\tt{2.5\:m}}$

Explanation:

• u = 0 m/s
• a = 5 m/s²
• t= 1 second

Using 2nd equation of motion

→ s = ut+1/2at²

→ s = 0×1+1/2×5×1²

→ s= 5/2

→ s = 2.5
